A Portrait Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGHLIKE the sway of the silver birch in the breeze of dawn | A |
Is her dainty way | B |
Like the gray of a twilight sky or a starlit lawn | A |
Are her eyes of gray | B |
Like the clouds in their moving white | C |
Is her breast's soft stir | D |
And white as the moon and bright | C |
Is the soul of her | D |
- | |
- | |
Like murmur of woods in spring ere the leaves be green | E |
Like the voice of a bird | F |
That sings by a stream that sings through the night unseen | E |
So her voice is heard | F |
And the secret her eyes withhold | G |
In my soul abides | H |
For white as the moon and cold | G |
Is the heart she hides | H |
